Should I have re-raised this hand? I know I have a strong hand, but I really haven't seen UTG get out of line too much. I really did not know what to make of a minraise from UTG.

This guy is one of the better players at the table. He has folded his SB to me a bunch after I played back at him when he was stealing. I have been average active on the table, not stealing more than anyone else. Should I respect his re-raise? Is my hand even strong enough to raise UTG?
Am I mis-valueing the strength of A9 5 handed?
